In this episode, expert guest Kevin Weedmark discusses how to think strategically about your home and the financial situation around your home, particularly as it relates to refinancing in today’s market.

Kevin has been in the real estate and mortgage industry for 18 years. He prides himself on thinking “outside the box” when it comes to helping clients get to their goals.

I was really surprised at how much I learned in this interview, even though the surprises were mostly related to one concept I try to really make people understand every day, which is – LAWS CHANGE, and your plan should change with it!

Here’s what we discuss in this interview:

#1 – Were you a Cash Buyer? – Free up your cash

#2 – Do You Have Mortgage Insurance or Worse
a FHA loan – The very important financial reasons you need to do whatever you can to ditch mortgage insurance or move from FHA to a conventional loan

#3 – College – Are you prepared? With
the increase in home values now may be a great time to fund your child’s tuition

#4 – Retired or close to retirement? – Cash flow becomes a major
concern — understand your options; keep as much cash as possible

#5 – Vacation or Second Home? – Often forgot – the perception is rates are or must be higher (absolutely false)
